Chapter 456 Resentment
The news of the evil monk's suicide spread throughout the capital the next day. He set fire to the national temple with the intention of burying everyone with him. This was the "truth" posted after the government office closed the case.
In fact, most people don't care about the truth of the matter.
Jingxin had already fallen and was charged with the crime of deceiving the emperor. The emperor showing leniency and sparing his life was already a great favor beyond the law.
Such people would not just stay in the national temple and waste their lives waiting for death. No matter what the truth is, the people in the government office would not bother to find out what the real truth is.
As long as it is reasonable, who cares even if Jingxin is wronged? Who will seek justice for him?
The most important thing is to close the case quickly and get rid of the trouble.
Qiao Wanyan was shocked when she learned that Jingxin had set herself on fire at the National Temple. She did not attend the summer banquet hosted by the Tenth Princess because of her illness, which caused Shen Lingyi to scold Jingxin for blocking other people's future even after her death.
Qiao Yihuan now has no status at all in the mansion, and everyone in the mansion is opportunistic.
In the past, she had Xiaoying by her side who served her wholeheartedly, but now there is no one.
Mingxiang Pavilion doesn't have a small kitchen, and the food sent from the kitchen can be considered edible and has not gone bad. It is even worse than what the servants eat.
Qiao Yihuan looked at the cabbage soup and half a steamed bun in front of her. Where was the smile she used to have on her face?
"Miss, please be considerate of us. The prices of food and vegetables outside have increased, so we have to save some money. Miss, you have a small appetite, so half a steamed bun is enough. If that's not enough, there is a big bowl of cabbage soup, and drinking water is enough to fill you up."
As long as no one is starving to death, is it really okay for this young lady to complain about such a thing?
The second young lady is the housekeeper in the mansion. She will not scold me. She may even increase my monthly salary for this.
Qiao Yihuan didn't say anything, and didn't pick up her chopsticks even after the waiter left.
She had endured enough of living in fear like this.
Qiao Wanyan would not come to find me, nor would she take advantage of my misfortune to bully me, but the more a vicious person like her didn't come, the more I was afraid that she would suddenly come to bully me.
Now that she had no one around her, she was a little confused.
In the dream, everyone should love me and protect me, and they are even willing to sacrifice everything for me to become the Crown Princess.
Liu Yanran also said that she is the daughter of heaven and the daughter of destiny of this world.
You can gain everyone's love and good luck without any effort, and the position of Crown Princess will be delivered to you without any effort.
No matter in the dream or what Liu Yanran said in person, the young marquis was wholeheartedly partial to herself. For her own sake, he could make enemies with everyone and protect herself openly.
Lu Jinye, who was guarding Qiao Wanyan, was supposed to protect himself and was even willing to sacrifice his own life, but now he was scolded and beaten by Qiao Wanyan every few days and he never left.
And His Highness!
It was obvious that His Highness loved me very much, and it was obvious that I could easily gain his blatant favoritism. His Highness would even contradict the Queen repeatedly for my sake.
But why don’t you come to see me now?
He used to come to the house to see me on the pretext of discussing court matters with his father, but now he never comes anymore.
Even when I was forcibly sent to Landu that day, he turned a blind eye and ignored me and did not save me.
Why? Why did things turn out like this? Where did it all go wrong?
Qiao Yihuan lowered his head. This shouldn't be the case.
She had to go and see Liu Yanran and ask her for some advice.
Now she is the only one I can rely on!
Liu Yanran in the palace is also very anxious now. As expected, Qiao Wanyan will be severely trampled under the feet of Yihuan, who will become the county lord. Coupled with the words of Abbot Jingxin, it is only a matter of time before Qiao Wanyan will be ruined.
As long as Yihuan secures her position as the county lady and is valued by the emperor, the noble ladies in the capital will soon change their attitudes. By then, Yihuan will be the most popular noble lady in the capital, and what will Qiao Wanyan have to do with her?
But why, what went wrong, how could Yihuan and Jingxin do such a thing in private, and be seen by so many people? !
I thought that Qiao Wanyan had fallen from power, and as long as Yihuan forced her to use a chance of survival as bait in exchange for her antidote, I would no longer have to worry about being controlled by Qiao Wanyan.
But now......
What should she do? The next one is not certain yet!
A young eunuch walked towards the worried Liu Yanran, "Aunt Liu, Miss Qiao wants to see you. She said she is waiting for you at the west gate of the palace."
Liu Yanran frowned, "Miss Qiao? Is she the eldest or the second young lady?"
If it was Qiao Wanyan, I would never dare to see her even if I was beaten to death. But if I don't see her, my antidote will be available the day after tomorrow!
what to do?
The young eunuch shook his head. "I'm new here and don't know her, but judging by her appearance, she should be the eldest lady."
I heard that the second young lady of the Qiao family is extremely beautiful. That young lady is pretty, but not to that level.
Liu Yanran hesitated for a long time, but still headed towards the palace gate.
If it was Qiao Wanyan who arrived, she would come back. There were guards at the left and right palace gates, would she dare to kidnap herself by force?
If she used her father and brother as bait again, she would never believe in leaving the palace.
Liu Yanran went to the palace gate with a nervous mood, but found a veiled woman standing outside. Seeing her eyes, she breathed a sigh of relief and ran over quickly.
"Yi Huan!"
Qiao Yihuan held her hand tightly, "Yanran."
Just calling her name, Qiao Yihuan burst into tears. Without asking in detail, Liu Yanran knew what kind of life she had been living during this period.
"Where's Xiaoying? Hasn't she always been by your side? Why isn't she here now?"
When Qiao Yihuan heard this name, she cried even harder, with bloodshot eyes. "Xiaoying she...she..."
"What's wrong? What happened?"
Qiao Yihuan choked up and said, "Xiaoying betrayed me. She was instructed by Qiao Wanyan to accuse me of being vain and wanting to trample my sister under her feet, so she tried to get close to the position of county lord that she obtained by deceiving the emperor."
Liu Yanran was stunned. How could this be possible?
In the novel, Xiaoying is not afraid of death for Yihuan, so how could she betray Yihuan?
Xiaoying has no parents and has been with Yihuan since she was a child. The friendship between them cannot be explained in a few words. In the novel, Xiaoying is loyal to Yihuan and has no intention of betraying him!
Everything has changed! Everything has changed!
"If Xiaoying hadn't accused me, how could I have become what I am today? Yanran, the novels you mentioned are all fake. I am going to marry Lu Gousheng now, and what you said about me becoming the Crown Princess is all fake."
